Can't trace even though I just heard from the node

[gdurso53]

Noticed that my trave routes are spotty. Works and then shortly after I get no trace. In each case I check the nodes and they have been heard only a few minutes ago. How can I hear from a node but not be able to trace the route? The three nodes show db's of around -6.

Too much radio interference or repeaters out of airtime let fixed routes break. At my location even with a second attempt traces with paths of 2 hops or more fail with a probability of ~45% minimum (I made some statistics based on measurements with https://github.com/usrflo/MeshCore-Reachability/; the failure rate may be specific to my location).

Today I proposed #1342 to reach more reliability for direct sending and prevent flooding as last resort.

Amplifiers make it easier for a repeater to be heard but harder to hear other repeaters. When you can hear a repeater but can't ping it, this could be the reason why. For the same reason, it's good to have both an amplified repeater and an unamplified one near you. Maybe bridging will help fix this.
